3.9.3 Adding subscribers

Use this process to create a new subscriber and group the specified Account ID, MSISDN, IMSI, and External Identifiers into one Subscriber record. The specified MSISDN, IMSI, and External Identifiers can be for existing standalone or new MSISDN, IMSI, or External Identifier routing entities. If the MSISDN, IMSI, or External Identifier does not exist as a standalone routing entity, the routing entity is automatically added, and the MSISDN, IMSI, or External Identifier is added to the Subscriber. All destination values from existing standalone routing entities must be the same before applying the values you enter on the Subscribers Create page.

Specifying destinations is optional. You can check the Inherit Destinations checkbox to inherit the current destination values from a subscriber‘s existing routing entity.

Before performing this task, make sure Destinations have been configured.

If no MSISDN or IMSI values currently exist as a standalone entry, then at least one destination must be provided.

At least one MSISDN or IMSI value must exist for the Subscriber.

1. Select SDS, and then Configuration, and then Subscribers.
2. Click Insert.
3. Enter an Account ID to associate a unique number to the Subscriber's account.

   Note:

   This is an optional field and contains a value 1-26 digits in length.
4. Enter MSISDN values to associate MSISDNs with the subscriber. Click Add, Remove, or Clear All to implement your updates. A maximum of 6 MSISDNs is supported. At least one destination must be provided when creating a new MSISDN or IMSI.
